Method

1.Combine the fish sauce, sugar, and juice in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sauce over the sliced vegetables.

2.Prepare a shallow bowl of hot water. Place 1 sheet of rice paper in hot water until just softened — around 10-20 seconds. Lift sheet carefully from water and place on board.

3.Place a selection of the vegetables horizontally on the edge of the sheet. Roll rice paper to enclose filling, folding in sides.

4.Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets and vegetables.

Jobs for kids: Kids of all ages, from preschool up, can measure and mix the sauce ingredients, peel and grate, remove seeds from capsicums, use a teaspoon to scoop seeds out of cucumber and fill and fold the rolls. Older children can also slice and chop. – Swap and change the vegetables according to what you have. – PER SERVE (12) Energy 27kcal, 112kj • Protein 0.9g • Total Fat 0.1g • Saturated Fat 0g • Carbohydrate 4.6g • Fibre 1.4g • Sodium 104mg
